More than anything I want a Legend's House season 2, and 3, and so on.
But some of these sound like really good ideas, others not so much. I'd love a Match Game style game show with wrestling related fill ins. Actually, it doesn't even have to be wrestling related. Just get Flair, Patterson, Sheik, and some divas on the panel and it'll be gold.
I don't know how a serious News cast would be but the comedic one could be good, as long as Santino and Khali aren't on it every week.
A more Celebrity Apprentice Style Legend's House wouldn't be bad either.
Obliviously they should keep making more documentaries.
A shoot interview every once in a while wouldn't be bad either. But I highly doubt they'd do that.

Honestly I'm not a fan of a lot of these ideas. I would like a Sportscenter type show, more documentaries like the one I heard they taped for William Regal that will air on the Network. Tough Enough would be cool as well, but the rest of these I feel are unneeded. Another reason why I don't think these shows are a good idea is because WWE tends to repeat shows more than once on their live stream, so imagine if these types of shows were made, we would barely have any wrestling content on the live stream. I could be wrong though.

I could be wrong though. I think once they have even more content the repetitive-ness will dwindle down. I feel like they throw Main Event, NXT, Superstars, etc. On so much because that is network exclusive content. Once there is more of that the rotation will be packed and we won't be seeing WM Rewind 3 times in the same day. What I don't like is how they show a PPV or MSG show over and over for a week and don't have any rhyme or reason behind them. I like random content I said from the beginning I'd love a random watch option but showing the same random PPV, Raw, SD, MSG show over and over throughout the week is pointless and makes it hard to find things outside of the 7-11 time frame on the schedule. |

I'd have to see them to properly judge.

I think it's "the more, the merrier" when it comes to programming, but I think there should be two separate "channels" on the Network: one for whatever random wrestling events they want to air, and one for these documentaries/reality shows/series.

You know, this reminds me of Netflix where they had the regular Netflix and then they had Netflix for Kids. This is actually a pretty good idea. If the Network somewhere in a year or two decide to do these types of shows that have barely anything to do with wrestling, they could do two separate channels like Netflix does with kids. |

I think I'd like to see a Where Are They Now type of show too. Maybe just a 10-15 minute segment on wrestlers from the past. I've been dying to know what T.L. Hopper is up to these days. I know you pulled that name out of the blue just to be funny, but I can tell you. A few months ago when my brother was working at Walmart in the sporting goods department, this great big guy came through. Was looking at work out stuff and supplements. My brother asks what he does. says he's a pro wrestler. "yeah? my brother loves that stuff, obsessed with it". Guy gives him a name, "DWB around here, but I worked with WWF as T.(another letter), my name's Tony though". He tells me that, I give him a rough description, and sure as shit, Dirty White Boy Tony Anthony, aka TL Hopper. As of September, he was living in southern Indiana working construction and still wrestling a bit on the side. Was looking to open a wrestling school down in that area. |

in regards to these ideas, I'll take them all. They all sound appealing in their own way. The more live events would be nice. Air live house shows at the end of the loop. Documentaries would be especially nice. Reality doesn't appeal to me as much but I'd like to see them.

I'm all for more documentaries and some reality stuff to see some of their lives outside of the ring. Tough Enough is cool and I'd be okay with a game show.
Plus, Steve Black Bounty Hunter for sure.

Throw Kevin Nash, Arn Anderson, Bret Hart, Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair, Shawn Michaels, Booker T, Gerald Brisco, and Teddy Long in Legends House and I'll watch.

One of my favorite WWE books is/was On the Road so I was thinking a reality show based on the week to week travels of superstars including how they are when driving/traveling state to state (or country to country) could be very cool

NO NO NO NO NO to the SportsCenter style show. Their attempts at having a panel on the PPVs is already terrible. Wrestling isn't real. Stop pretending it is by having old superstars give predictions on new talent. I hate that. Do you also hate commentary? In general, obviously the commentary now sucks for the most part. But I disagree. In the character's world ("in kayfabe"), it IS real. They should analyze it like it's real. I dislike it more when the show is winking at us that it's fake than when they're overly concerned with how real it is. You wouldn't want Rick in the Walking Dead to turn to the camera and say "Those aren't real zombies! They're just actors or animatronics!" So, why does it upset you when WWE fleshes out its world? |

Because they're not fleshing out their world, they're wasting time. You don't think the hype packages, promos, matches and commentary get across what Jim Duggan is going to say about Bryan vs. Kane? It's not about them making a point to say it's fake, it's about them copying and pasting what other sports do to provide NEW information and it all being a waste in translation. We could have another match with the time that they give to their 'panel' is what I'm trying to say. |

If it's ever on TV or PPV, it's maybe 2-3 minutes tops while they clear out the ring between matches. I just don't think it's worth "hating." |

WWE have made incredible strides to cut back on terrible filler, this is one thing I'd like to see taken out with the trash. As a fan it's one of the few things left that I don't like and is impossible to explain when watching with someone who isn't a big fan. "Who are these old guys?" "They're retired wrestlers." "If they're real wrestlers they know what the show is, why are they pretending it's real?" "They've got nothing else to do right now." "That's stupid." "I know." |
